1 Choose the right 3D printer

The first step to teaching prototyping skills using 3D printing is to choose the right 3D printer for your classroom. There are many factors to consider, such as the cost, the size, the speed, the quality, the reliability, the safety, and the compatibility of the 3D printer. You want to choose a 3D printer that fits your budget, your space, your curriculum, your learning objectives, and your students' needs and preferences. You also want to choose a 3D printer that is easy to use, maintain, and troubleshoot, and that supports a variety of 3D printing materials and formats.

Bringing 3D printing into the classroom for teaching prototyping? Super cool and incredibly effective, if you ask me. Here’s the deal: start with projects that get those hands busy—designing, printing, tweaking. It’s all about learning by doing. Throw in problems from the real world to keep things spicy and relatable. Teamwork? Absolutely. It’s how the pros do it, and it teaches way more than just the tech stuff. And don’t skimp on diving into the software side of things—knowing your tools is half the battle. Plus, having students share their projects and feedback with each other? Gold. It’s not just about making things; it’s about thinking on your feet and making them better. Trust me, it’s a game-changer for gearing-up students out there!

Choose the 3D printer also affecting the 3D printing process. There has a variety of printer from single print to multi print during the process. However, due to the budget, we able to manage to get the cheaper printer. Cheaper printer does not means its not good, it is good but not finely produced as the high tech 3D printer machine available in market

2 Introduce the 3D printing process

The next step to teaching prototyping skills using 3D printing is to introduce the 3D printing process to your students. You want to explain the basic concepts and principles of 3D printing, such as the types of 3D printing technologies, the components and functions of a 3D printer, the steps and stages of 3D printing, and the advantages and limitations of 3D printing. You also want to demonstrate the 3D printing process to your students, using a simple and relevant example, such as a keychain, a toy, or a model. You want to show them how to use the 3D printing software, how to prepare the 3D printer, how to load and unload the 3D printing material, how to monitor and control the 3D printing process, and how to remove and clean the 3D printed object.

3D printing process is one of the elements before they going deeper for their 3D projects. It is because sometimes they didn't have time to learn due to time constraint, etc. Hence, teaching the process make them even more understand and ask the question if they don't understand the ongoing process happens.

3 Assign a prototyping project

The third step to teaching prototyping skills using 3D printing is to assign a prototyping project to your students. You want to give them a clear and specific design challenge, such as creating a prototype for a product, a solution, a game, or a sculpture. You want to define the criteria and constraints for the prototyping project, such as the purpose, the target audience, the functionality, the aesthetics, the budget, the time, and the materials. You also want to provide them with the resources and guidance they need to complete the prototyping project, such as the 3D modeling software, the 3D printing tools, the 3D printing tutorials, the feedback mechanisms, and the evaluation rubrics.

The first thing is getting your students familiar with 3D space. Before doing any actual 3D printing, an afternoon of prototyping with plasticine or floam and toothpicks should be priority! This allows them to engage with the shapes and planes that make up three dimensional objects, and it allows them to visualize how volumes exist. Build onto more advanced concepts like drawing cross sections of objects next then transition into the digital space with software like sketchup.

Attribuer un projet de prototypage à vos étudiants en leur donnant un défi de conception clair et spécifique, d'implications individuelles et collectives en stimulant l'esprit de créativité de vos étudiants en leur proposant un atelier de création d'un prototype pour un produit, une solution, un jeu, une sculpture, tout en fournissant, tout au long du parcours d'apprentissage, les ressources et les conseils dont auront besoins vos étudiants pour mener à bien le projet de prototypage, tels le logiciel de modélisation 3 D, les outils d'impression 3 D, les tutoriels d'impression 3 D, les mécanismes de rétroaction et les rubriques d'évaluation.

4 Encourage iteration and experimentation

The fourth step to teaching prototyping skills using 3D printing is to encourage iteration and experimentation among your students. You want to foster a culture of creativity, curiosity, and collaboration in your classroom, where your students are not afraid to try new ideas, make mistakes, learn from failures, and improve their prototypes. You want to facilitate the iterative design cycle, where your students go through the phases of ideation, modeling, printing, testing, and refining their prototypes. You also want to promote the experimental approach, where your students test different variables, such as the shape, the size, the color, the texture, the material, and the orientation of their prototypes, and measure the outcomes, such as the strength, the durability, the flexibility, and the usability of their prototypes.

I love how iteration is mentioned, with this, allowing the project to be iterable throughout the milestone process will allow the project lab and resulting product to be plug and play assuring a quality product even as a prototype.

5 Showcase and share the prototypes

The fifth step to teaching prototyping skills using 3D printing is to showcase and share the prototypes that your students have created. You want to celebrate and acknowledge the efforts and achievements of your students, and provide them with opportunities to present and explain their prototypes to their peers, their teachers, their parents, or other audiences. You want to create a display or an exhibition of the prototypes, where your students can showcase their design process, their design decisions, their design challenges, and their design solutions. You also want to create a platform or a community of practice, where your students can share their prototypes, their feedback, their reflections, and their recommendations with other 3D printing enthusiasts, experts, or learners.

6 Inspire further learning and exploration

The sixth step to teaching prototyping skills using 3D printing is to inspire further learning and exploration among your students. You want to challenge and motivate your students to continue developing and enhancing their prototyping skills, and to apply them to other contexts and domains. You want to provide them with additional resources and opportunities to learn more about 3D printing, such as the 3D printing trends, the 3D printing innovations, the 3D printing careers, and the 3D printing communities. You also want to provide them with additional projects and activities to explore more about 3D printing, such as the 3D printing competitions, the 3D printing collaborations, the 3D printing extensions, and the 3D printing customizations.

To inspire further learning and exploration in the realm of 3D printing and prototyping, educators can incorporate real-world applications and industry trends into their curriculum. Connecting classroom projects to current innovations and success stories within fields like product design, healthcare, and engineering can ignite students' curiosity and demonstrate the practical implications of their skills. Guest speakers from the industry, field trips to manufacturing facilities or design studios, and participation in relevant competitions can offer students valuable insights and inspiration. Encouraging students to pursue personal projects, perhaps tied to solving real-world problems, fosters a sense of ownership and passion for their work.
